Key Questions Answered
The forensic report revealed that Alwin's body was dismembered into nine parts, packed into green and blue bags, and left in his car's boot. It noted two wounds on the left side of his chest, internal bleeding, and a blood alcohol reading of 25.77 mg/dl, though advanced decomposition made the organs fragile.
The family grew suspicious after Alwin stopped communicating via voice notes, which he typically preferred, and instead only sent unusual text messages from his phone. Furthermore, inconsistencies emerged when his company's HR department falsely claimed he had travelled to India while his passport records showed he remained in the UAE.
Udupi police stated they can only take formal action once a letter rogatory, red-corner notice, or Interpol alert is issued against a suspect. Investigators are coordinating with the Dubai consulate and seeking information through Interpol channels to help track the case and locate his missing wife and son.
